Kohli settled Rohit’s score with Rizwan in 24 hours, becoming number one

New Delhi. Indian cricket team’s star batsman Virat Kohli has been consistently performing well with the bat in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Kohli of course missed out on a record 49th century against New Zealand but played a vital role in Team India’s fifth straight win. Virat Kohli has reached the top in the list of batsmen who scored the most runs in the current World Cup. During this period, he overtook Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, who had usurped the number one spot from Rohit Sharma 24 hours earlier.

In the list, Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan has slipped from the top to the third position, while Rohit Sharma remains at the second position. Virat scored 95 off 104 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes against New Zealand (IND vs NZ) at HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala. Matt Henry stopped him from scoring his historic 49th ODI century by being caught by Glenn Phillips. In this World Cup, Virat has so far scored 354 runs in 5 innings with the help of 1 century and 3 half-centuries.
